Lakefront Yoga in Big Bear
Take your routine down to the shoreline of the lake. You’ll want to get up and out early to enjoy the peace and tranquility that is present before the lake gets busy with vacationers and locals out for a swim or other outdoor activity. If you’re not an early riser, try a sunset session after many people have settled in for the evening.
Mountaintop
Yoga and meditation are forms of exercise, just like running, hiking, and biking. Start with an adrenaline pumping activity like hiking or biking through Big Bear’s mountain terrain. Once you reach your destination or the summit, take a break and relax. Take some time before heading back down to complete your daily meditation or yogain Big Bear routine. You’ll be surrounded by Big Bear’s natural features, like pine forest, giant mountain rocks, and other centers of balancing energy. When you’re done, you’ll be ready for the journey back down the mountain and for your day’s activities.
SUP Yoga
In the summer, you can combine water sports and yoga into one experience. Stand up paddleboarding is a lake activity of choice for many – it offers full body strengthening, a workout, and refining of your physical balance.

Take classes led by experienced yoga instructors or rent a paddleboard and go through your own routine on the calm waters of the lake.
Snowshoeing + Yoga/Meditation
